Kingkey 100 (KK100)
5016 Shennan E. Road, Luohu District, Shenzhen, Guangdong
Also known as simply KK100, Kingkey 100 is a 100-story skyscraper in Shenzhen, China. At 1,450 feet (442 meters), this was the tallest building in Shenzhen until 2015, when the Ping An Finance Center was built. The observation deck on the top floor offers one of the best views of Shenzhen.
The bottom half of KK100 contains mostly offices, while upper levels house the St. Regis Hotel. You don’t have to be a guest of the hotel to take in the views from the observation deck; grab a drink from the bar with its huge panoramic windows, or dine at one of the restaurants within the St. Regis. The KK Mall next door offers international brands, restaurants, cafés, and Shenzhen’s first IMAX theater.
KK100 is one of the best places to go for a bird’s-eye view of Shenzhen.
A ticket is required to reach the upper floors of the building.
Some of the venues within the skyscraper have dress codes; check before you go to make sure you dress appropriately.
Kingkey 100 can be reached by taking the Luobao Line or the Shekou Line on the metro to Grant Theater Station; it’s just a short walk from there. Alternatively, plenty of buses serve the area.
To make the most of the views from the top, try to visit on a clear day. The day after a rain shower tends to offer the clearest air and the best views.
The distinction of tallest building in Shenzhen (second-tallest in China and the fourth-tallest in the world) goes to the Ping An Finance Centre. This 115-story skyscraper measures 1,966 feet (599 meters) tall. The Free Sky 116 Observation Deck is also open to visitors.
